I turned 49.95 last year. I just could not say 50 for a long time. My mon is 76 and gets out of bed running. She still mows her own yard and walks a mile a day. She says keep moving to stay moving.

8...I love your attitude!!! I remember driving around with my 80+ year old grandmother in the car and she would wink and flirt with men in the next car at all the stop lights...then we'd speed off and laugh like 12 yr olds!! Ain't life grand??? :lol: :lol:

:roll: :lol: :lol:

Can relate to all you wrote......

we were at a casino and the young man next to me kept getting up answering his cell phone.......came back and said he didn't know what it would be like without them......hubby replied he remembered before we had tv...all the young KID could say was "WHAT?"

Wouldn't you just love to go through a Sunday of the 40's & 50's.

One would be enough!!!!!!!!

Almost four yrears ago youngest Grandson asked his Mom how old she was, when she answered 40, he said "Thats a biggg numder". Now that's my favorite saying anytime I hear a large number, larger than 40.

When our youngest daughter (now 27) was in 1st or 2nd grade, as presidents day was approaching, they were studying about Lincoln and Washington. The previous summer we had been to Washington, D.C. to Ford's Theater where Lincoln was shot, so some of the history was fresh in her mind and she was really into all that they were learning. I didn't realize how confusing it must be to the young ones learning about 2 such prominent historical figures at the same time until, One day as we were driving in the car, she turned to me and asked, "Mommy, how old were you when Abraham Washington was shot?"

Wasn't sure which was funnier....her mixing the names together or the fact that I had done such a good job of telling her about the happenings of Lincolns assassination, that she thought I was alive when it happened!! :roll: :oops: :lol:

last birthday, hit 76 but the one that lingers is the one when I turned 28.

my oldest daughter, not yet 5 at the time was talking about how old I was that day....and rather than say 28, she said, "mommy, you're a score, a fin and three"

now how's that for a shocker??????

You know you are getting old when you start to lie about your kids ages.

Yes, you sure wonder what happened to all the years and you wake up and realize you are "vintage" as one of the gals here said. My Gram once told me long ago, that after 50 the days start going by so fast. She is right.

Ladies, I did not want to get old.... Pretending I'm 35 for ?? years. Well, it's all catching up with me and making me a bit sad to turn 70 this August. Boy does that sound old to me! I can't believe I've lived that long.
Quilting gives me a lot of joy. Being on this Board does too.
